Palmeiras - Fluminense: betting tip (cf 2.65) and bets on the Brazilian Championship match (February 26, 2026) from UPU

Palmeiras approached the start of the season as a clear contender for the championship title and the selection of players obliged the green and white to set maximum goals for themselves. In the first round, Abel Ferreira's team lost points against Atletico Mineiro (2:2), but so far this is the only mistake of the vice-champion – victories over Internacional and Vitoria helped lead the table.

Fluminense hardly had the opportunity to set maximum goals for themselves, but at the same time the tricolours were clearly capable of fighting for a place in the top five and a ticket to the Copa Libertadores. Luis Subeldia's team is looking very good at the start of the season and is currently in third place in the table with seven points. The 1-0 victory over Botafogo in the derby in the last round was Fluminense's second of the season.
